First Sazerac of the season

It’s like people say, there’s a first time for everything.

Does anyone have any familiarity with early Family Guy episodes who can help me out with a work thing?

More bookbinding tonight, including some timely repairs on a classic.

My latest bookbinding project.

The thing about the crazed influencer doing a selfie video while everyone else is fleeing and then tainting the crime scene is that THIS IS WHO THE TOP TWO PEOPLE AT THE FBI ARE, TOO

WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

Black Flame by Gretchen Felker-Martin doesn't come out until November here in the UK, but I think I'll pre-order it and put it away as a Christmas present to myself. Perhaps you'll consider doing the same. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/blac...

I'm so glad Josh Shapiro held the flag at half-mast for this noble protector of the Jewish people

Given the people who run this place are transphobic crypto fascists who kick trans women. Let’s promote Gretchen’s work on here for her. She has a new book out. It looks really cool, you should grab a copy and help her out, and also you’ll get to read a cool book bookshop.org/p/books/blac...

Pure cowardice, and sadly not the first example of this we’re going to see.

DC Comics Cancels “Fourth World” Line After Creator Jack Kirby Admits To Killing Nazis In WWII

on a practical note, gretchen is now out about $1400 a month (DC’s opening page rate is still $70 for writers, yeah?) so please go buy her books (MANHUNT, CUCKOO, and BLACK FLAME) and—very important!—leave short, *glowing* reviews about them online to help with the algorithm

I'm really having trouble processing the relative silence from Barack Obama about a colleague who he'd hosted at the White House, the Minnesota State House Speaker, being assassinated, but rushing to get out a weepy statement about Charlie fucking Kirk.

Wish the news outlets and baseball teams (lol???) rushing to eulogize a D-tier right wing mouthpiece would include some of their favorite inspirational quotes from the guy. Should be easy, right? Show me that soaring rhetoric and big thinking worthy of such veneration

This is disgraceful. We all know Trump and the American right's views on free speech and that's they want to decide who this right applies to. The race to legitimise this perversion by major American institutions is appalling appeasement that leads nowhere but the gutter.

Cowardly publisher.

"We must all be free to debate openly and without fear" is a HELL of a stance to take less than a week after having hundreds of peaceful protestors arrested for saying "Palestine Action."

I will never get over how he said Nothing when Brianna Ghey was murdered

A.) you knew who you were hiring b.) cis-male creators and editors have said and done significantly more out of pocket shit and faced zero consequences, and c.) all this is in reaction to a guy who was rudely, aggressively, vocally for other people getting shot…getting shot!

This is bitch shit, man.

this is soft, dude. this is really, really soft. a few years back, Frank Tieri threatened another critic and myself with violence, directly, at a comic-con over Batman opinions. That dude kept his job. He slid into my DMs with a fake apology. C. Kirk called for extermination. A joke didn't kill him.

Being informed that DC has cancelled Gretchen Felker-Martin's work to appease the whiners of the world. Should be a reminder for folks as to what Corporate IP comics actually are, because ppl forget and act like these enterprises are progressive to justify their consumption.

You’re just not allowed to do journalism if it displeases MAGA

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence. For an actual public servant. Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

Same

Guy who didn’t watch the news between 2000 and today:

"Don't be ghoulish" well I don't know what to tell you man, I didn't spend every day of my life helping turn reality into ghoul world

Fuck the Yankees! clap clap clapclapclap Fuck the Yankees! clap clap clapclapclap

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

also on the subject of political violence

Our entire culture is bought and paid for by the scum of the earth and they want us all dead and they’ll make sure you never talk about it.

Excellent advice, Gavin. I’m also gonna fucking eat a bullet in front of my family in honor of Charlie Kirk’s greatest achievement.

Show starts in half an hour. I’d love to see you there! The auction is here if you want to browse: www.comicconnect.com/browse/sessi...

back in 1947, there was a book called All-Negro Comics #1. It was the first comic by and for black folks, and thanks to the efforts of @chrisrobinson.info & crew, it's coming back from Image Comics this fall. I wrote a little bit about it. I'm very stoked. essays.iamdavidbrothers.com/2025/09/dont...

Bookbinding progress from today.

I have the original editions of these comics, but for those who’ve missed them, this series is fantastic and you should order a copy when it comes up for preorder.

Modern book designers will pay for their crimes

There is something so fundamentally telling with people who think that “reading a book” and “knowing what the plot is” is the same experience.

Reading some old Web of Horror stories and it seems like Norman Nodel has no idea what a pentagram actually is.

Let’s be clear: This person is a political prisoner
